[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 722270, member: 5302"] Seven reasons why high power match rifle shooters liked the Winnies: Receiver's near 3 times stiffer. Don't belive that? Go measure them. Or calculate it with those 4th order mechanical engineering moment of inertia formulas. Easier to charge a magazine with 5 rounds quickly from stripper clips and a clip guide. Easier to operate the bolt; it's got a better shaped and longer handle and is smoother with less tight spots. More reliable feeding from the box magazine. Extractors rarely, if ever, break. Holds epoxy bedding better due to its flat bottom and side parts. Round receivers tend to work loose from epoxy bedding after a few hundred rounds. Field strip the bolt and replace firing pin or extractor without special tools. [/QUOTE]
